In a twist that will surprise no one who's been against this plagiarism machine from the beginning, turns out AI doesn't 'learn' shit. It stores info, accesses it as needed, and AI companies just lied about it. So now can we stop pretending stealing is progress? removepaywalls.com/https://www....

YA BROKEN EARTH x THE DARKNESS OUTSIDE US Ren, a telekinetic crystal miner (and part-time thief), must join a hot-headed prince on a deadly mission: destroy the rogue AI controlling a maze at the center of their planet, before it spreads and destroys the world. #DVPit #YA #SF #LGBT #ND #TV
